My Occasional Hollywood Waste Of Time

By Semperpapa

Does not happen often, but at times I waste my time by commenting on the Hollywood weirdoes and their ever present effort to demonstrate their innate stupidity.

First in line is the always entertaining Michael Moore. The very large film director gave an interview with some obscure TV channel, Grit TV, where he shared a little of his wisdom to solve the economic situation in our Country.

According to the portly millionaire, the cash wealth of America is not property of those who accumulate it, but national property. Basically, if you work hard and are skilled and lucky enough to make a good living and accumulate personal wealth, that wealth is not yours to keep, but should become property of every person in America. It should be taken away by the government and distributed to those who do not have it.

This is coming form a guy who lives very high on the hog, no pun intended, and who just sued to get more millions of dollars he claims are due to him form one of his movies. A guy who is notoriously stingy with the people who work for him. In other words a typical liberal hypocrite.

If he is so adamant to take away the wealth of people who worked hard to achieve financial security, he should be the first in line to write a big fat check to the government.

I understand that for Mr. Moore the idea of leading by example is completely abstract, nevertheless I am hoping that he will contact me and send me a check, just for sake of leveling the economic field.

Hey Michael, one million dollars would set me up for the rest of my life, buddy!

Next in line is Charlie Sheen. Probably the best description of this man’s current situation may be “train wreck”. It is really too bad that someone slightly talented like Sheen is at a point in his life where things start to crumble around him.

The actor from the movie Platoon and the sit-com Two and a half men is obviously in a death spiral from which, from a mere human point of view, I hope he will recover. If nothing else for the sake of his children.

Some may think that he is living the life: money, fame, drugs and two porn stars to keep him “happy” but the reality is that, as a father, I believe that all those “perks” amount to nothing when your children are taken away from you.

The man has gotten a pass by the justice apparatus for years, with the result of a life out of control. There are no doubts that, as an individual, he has the right to live his life the way he wants, but when behavior affects the lives of others, especially children, my tolerance for bad behavior disappears.

And I cannot avoid mentioning those around him, from his famous father, who surely is blaming Bush for the shenanigans of Charlie, to the women who married the guy. It looks to me as if Charlie’s life has been guided by the notion that he could do anything he wanted at any time and never have repercussions. And the women who married him and procreated, knowing very well who he is, have to share the responsibility for protracting the lie. But they are now victims. Right!

Lastly, there is the pinnacle of brilliance Matt Damon.

In an interview on CNN, the actor was supposed to be promoting his new movie, but the conversation moved to politics. Damon, a fervent supporter of Obama in 2008, is now expressing his disappointment with Lord Barak. Some of Damon’s quotes show that the actor is disappointed about the accomplishments of the president.

“No, I really think he misinterpreted his mandate” and “I no longer hope for audacity” appear to outline Damon’s unhappiness with Obama. Yes, he did not go far enough to destroy America!

Just like Moore, Damon is obsessed with the lack of government intervention against poverty, Damon even criticized the State of the Union speech on that subject.

Considering that Matt Damon is one of those millionaires Moore is accusing of hoarding cash, I expect a check form him too.

What remains remotely amusing to me is the interest of the American people toward the political views of actors and actresses. These are people who have various degrees of talent in entertaining the masses and, in such capacity, they could be a cultural asset and play an important role. But in the context of politics, economics and national security, they do not offer much wisdom.

This is now enough about Hollywood. Much time wasted…

Just my thoughts!
